The Best Gift Ever

My husband was given the best gift ever yesterday by our son.

Our son lives across the world from us – having created a life where he can live on his own terms, happy as a clam. We use a chat program almost every day plus a conference call program when we are all up and functional at the same time of the day, so we stay close.

I check the chat program every morning to see if he’s left any messages, pictures, or questions for us.

Yesterday morning I found this –
“Dad, I have a luxurious life now because you were so patient in making me strong.”

I’m still tearing up this morning. What a beautiful thing for our son to FEEL, and to SAY to his dad. We really won the lottery on sons.

    That is a lovely thing to hear Linda. I can relate totally, as my daughter-in-law told me once that my son told her that his mum was the smartest person he knew. I admit that it made me wonder about how small his circle of friends was, but it was still lovely to hear it.

    • Hahahahahaha. LOVE your comment. Love your sense of humor, too. Your son is lucky, and I’m happy that your daughter-in-law cared enough to share that with you. Bask in the compliment, and thanks for writing. :0)
